of the employees have
been in employment
with the Group for 10
years or more.
Plantation Division’s employee turnover was primarily a result of
abscondment and expiry of employees fixed-term contracts. The
majority of employees who absconded are engaged in physical labour
such as harvesting, where traditionally the employee turnover has been
high. Improving retention is a critical priority for the Plantation Division
and as such, the division has ramped up efforts in building and upgrading
worker’s living quarters and estate infrastructure which are complete with
basic amenities, sundry shops, recreational spaces, places of worship and
internet connection.
The Manufacturing Division had reduced the size of its total contract
workforce in view of the present lower levels of economic activity following
the expiry of a major supply contract in the travel document segment.
In other cases, the Group believes that the high rate of non-executive
employees leaving voluntarily across the divisions has to do with the
mobility of labour.
